10 year vet here. I endorse everything said here. If I were to add to it: Your going to be a noob for years. YEARS. This is a game with no ceiling. No matter how much time you put in the game, you will never do everything. Your life is not long enough. Spend the first couple of years of your Eve Career testing and playing with different activities and let yourself gravitate to doing things that reflect who you are as a real life person. Doing something in Eve that is not natural to you in life will mean you wont enjoy this game. But if you find yourself in Eve, that activity will personally feel rewarding and will be very addictive as you will min/max your natural talents. Talents that you might not know about yourself as your not applying them in the Real World. Remember, this game has no 'Meta', everyone finds their own Meta. Find yours and trust that you are among not many others like you that are really good at that thing while 95% of the rest of Eve players are 'bad' at it. Find your niche and Eve is great. But it may take years to find it. So be it. Give it a try.
wow i bet u know alot .. and this is like a guide for put future i feel .. the ships in our skies now is getting more intense ... eve online is happining IRL
Also, to give a bit of a confidence boost to new players: Being good or bad at the game does not necessarily correlate with being new or not new. There are people who have been playing for years and still don't understand basic game mechanics, and on the flipside, a new player can quickly become good at certain things, even better than some veterans. Especially if you've specialised into something, there is a good chance you're better at it than the vast majority of the player base. There simply is so much to do and to learn in the game that nobody knows and does all of it, so if you find something you enjoy doing, you're probably amongst the better ones in this activity quickly. And last thing, as mentioned in the video: make your own goals. If you succeed at your own goals, you're winning, and nobody else can change that.
"Star Citizen/Elite Dangerous, you are Han Solo pulling on the flight stick and squeezing the trigger. In Eve, you are Picard standing on a bridge reading screens and commanding your ship to do something, like lock target. Load the photon torpedos. Full speed ahead." Most critical thing to know about the game going in. Personally, I tell people they will love Eve if they want to be a soviet submarine commander, and then I show them D-scan.
Eve is fun if you like to build that perfect ship…months to train the skills to equip and fly it, take it out for a test drive…and get killed in three seconds.
Ya, the amount of time I have spend day dreaming of doing a thing only to try it and get slapped. Eve is a Jungle. its not going to cater to you, you must adapt to it or die. Eve does not hold you hand by building you a path that takes you from lev 1 to 100 to beating some final boss and beating the game, like in other games. Eve throws you in an arena filled with dangers without telling you how to survive. You have to figure it out. And if you survive and prosper, you are winning. But you know you could be at any moment getting the pod express back to home from a fight you had no business being in. Like the Jungle, everything is food, and everything is starving to eat!
Ah yes...so true. I came back to the game after being away for over two years...had to relearn everything...got stepped on like a bug whilst mining in low sec space. I was so pissed...brooded over the loss for way too long...then...I came back and found a nice surprise. The capsuleer of the Tier III cruiser that crushed me, and my Tier I Venture, sent a little gift: 100,000,000 ISK. Ah, there's hope in Eden, folks. It gave me PLENTY of ISK to play and rebuild and make the exact same mistake twice...although, the second time, I got swatted by an NPC. uhg. So, I'm thinking, it might be a good idea to stop working alone in low sec space (duh!)
eve is a truly open and free game in just about every way. theres no wrong way to play it. and thats what i love about it. i dont feel like i wasted my time mining veldspar in highsec because i know that stuff is in high use and itll always get sold and *someone* will get some use out of it
The only thing that really keeps me going in eve any more is a massive goal that ive broken up into many many small goals. A couple of capital construction parts here... a capital clone bay by the end of the week..... and before too long... (like 5 months) you see in the industry window that you have made very part required for your rorqual.... and that ship... is beautiful. Small goals... small goals...
Good video, but I'm not sure, maybe I just missed it but you forgot to mention people need to have the right mindset to learn and make mistakes, many people are stubborn or scared of judgment to make a mistake or admit when they made a mistake and end up blaming the game or somthing else out of thier control.
I did all 12 career agent schools. Millions of easy ISK, dozens of ships and bpcs for dozens more, and tons of fitting equipment. Now i mine and belt rat.
Nullsec mindset for the new folks: When you undock, you're already dead. Get used to the idea of learning from fights. There are no fair fights in Eve. Losing can teach you more than winning. The cost of failure is ISK in this game, and maybe some time. So long as you can pay that, it's cool.
Thats one thing I had to learn the hard way lol. After doing career missions, I saw youtube video about Heron nullsec/warphole relic hunting. Spent 6 hours racking up 1.2 billion in loot only to get popped when I was docking dhe trading hub. Afterwards Im only getting loot to 100~200mil isk before going to sell and learned how to do T0 abyss runs for heron fit money. Rookie help chat really helped me out.
Right! I'm a returning player. Just do stuff, guys. Hang out in null sec, start a criminal alt, and play the market with your ill-begotten gains. And cackle all the way to the bank! This is the game for that.
I have found that in EVE, even the newbies can be a threat to someone around for much longer. Light Tackle does a really good job of screwing the target's day.

@ Eve is literally the Dark Forest lol.

Angular velocity is not parallel to the target, it's orthogonal to the target,

Absolutely!!! This is a great point!
Love your videos, keep em coming please

that sounds fun
Where can I find the graph of activities?

Titan to Tormentor edit was great! 👏
This is a fantastic video. super helpful to me right now as i just started playing.
It's not the most in depth tips, but it's what I found helpful starting out.
Tip #1, go find a different space game and don't give any money to Pearl Abyss.
I blame CCP for selling the game to them... It's been all down hill since that happened...

Funny @captainbenzie just released a video obout how null is the safest space in all of Eve😂
@@wolfmoz2232 if you have friends. All about the friends.
@@wolfmoz2232 Nullsec in a corp/alliance can be pretty safe, if you know what you're doing.
@@chadnine3432 Was just funny. And btw … I dont 😂

Don't sell old ships right away. Save them as backups in case your new ships get blown up.
Oh yeah. I've been hoarding them like a squirrel with nuts.

Eve is a hobby not a casual game.
Multiboxing has killed the game.
Theres only around 5k players after you deduct bots and multiboxxers. I dont think many new players are adoptiong this game.
Not entirely true, I'm new.
I started 6 months ago , and most of the corp im in are new/returning players
I'm new but my account is 2000 days old. I played for like 10 minutes
Bingo: It's a win.
1. Uninstall
2. Play something else.
3. Don't be a whale.
Note: You ONLY have to follow the first rule.
Wait for a server reset. Since there wont be one, only join Eve if you like to be prey.
Only prey if you act like it.
Got ganked?

Timestamps.
This video only helped 3/4 of a person. lmao
1 tip for a new player: don´t even try, isn´t fun lol
Adventure, excitement, eve players crave not those things.
everything you get or earn as a new player will pale in comparison to the other 90% of the players who have played 20 years. It is futile to even try.
